So I was sitting at the Dr's office with my friend and this guy comes in. I smiled at him, he says "Hi how are you" I of course say "fine". He does a quick, what he thought was sly, ring check and proceeds to the window. The nurse had just stepped away for a moment and I told him that she'd be back shortly. He says "thank you" and then holds his hand out for me to shake it and says "You're beautiful by the way, your husband is a lucky man." I proceed to stammer a quick "thank you" while he proceeds to ask "how long have you been married" but still taken aback from his boldness I almost forgot to answer. "Ten years" I reply to which he says "Lucky man, he's a lucky man. You tell him that alright".

I don't care if you ask me what I am. I don't care if you ask me if I have kids. I don't care if you ask me how many siblings I have. In short, I have several ethnicities running through my veins and I am proud to share that because that is who and what I am. I have trouble getting pregnant. I really want children and lost a baby last year. I have 2 sisters but I lost one 7 years ago. If you would like to inquire more please feel free to ask away. Yes the last 2 were hard to deal with but I am stronger because of those experiences and if by sharing that with someone can one day help them I wouldn't want someone thinking they can't ask me because oh it's too sensitive a subject. People want to know you and you are the sum of those experiences, if it's something you don't want to share, simply say I can't share that right now, it's too close yet but one day maybe I will and know that one day you can if you wish but it isn't something to be offended about. We throw that word around too freely.
